If you’re concerned about the impact of the proposed budget on Federal funding of science but aren’t sure what to say when you call your elected officials, remember that a coalition of professional societies representing nearly 100,000 scientists signed an open letter about this a few weeks ago. 🧪

Go see the #OceanFilm with David Attenborough (happy 99th birthday!). I’d like to have a word with the scientific advisors. Among other things, phytoplankton doesn’t remove 1/3 of our CO₂ emissions (the ocean removes 1/4, but it’s abiotic) and the ocean doesn’t produce half the O₂ we breathe.

I dislike analyses like these, which claim to estimate the "share" of climate change that is "caused" by the wealthiest 10%, 1%, or whatever. They are rarely what they seem to be -- especially in popular media. www.carbonbrief.org/two-thirds-o...

Since Trump took office, his family has made $2.9 billion in crypto. Again, this is a level of corruption so cartoonish, so obvious & on the surface, that it seems to have stunned everyone to silence.

I work in industrial ceramics manufacturing. My plant also produces cast iron and glass. Without well-managed air filtration and access to NIOSH approved respirators and dust masks, workers like me will be at increased risk of lung conditions like silicosis & mesothelioma, and other organ damage.

100% this. And moreover expanding and diversifying the scientific workforce is literally NSF’s Congressionally mandated mission. #NSF has been, overall, an extraordinarily powerful engine of advancement for science and society for 75 years

If you're a grad student or an undergrad interested in research I need to you listen to me very carefully. You cannot learn to write good research papers if you do not read good research papers. Stop asking LLMs to summarize papers for you.

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.

The first crime is that all of this wildly illegal & unconstitutional & requires immediate impeachment & removal. The second crime is that we, the richest country in world history, only spend $9 billion in a $1.7 <trillion> budget on the NSF. But that’s a discussion for once we stop the fascism.
